About Respirators and Fit Testing 19
Probes for Filtering-Facepiece (Disposable)
Respirators
Disposable respirators can be fit tested by inserting a test probe
through the filter material. The optional TSI Model 8025-N95 Probe
Kit includes disposable probes and insertion tools. Order TSI Model
8025-N95R Probe Refill Kit for additional probes (no tools).
Note
The PortaCount Pro Model 8030 can successfully fit test class-100,
class-99, and P3 disposable respirators. Lower efficiency disposable
respirators such as class 95, P2, and P1 will usually require use of
the PortaCount Pro+ Model 8038.
Inserting a Test Probe in a Disposable Respirator with
the TSI Model 8025-N95 Probe Kit
To perform a quantitative fit test, the PortaCount Pro fit tester must
draw an air sample from inside the respirator while it is being worn by
the person being fit tested. The tools, sampling probes and push nuts
contained in the probe kit lets you install a sampling port onto any
disposable filtering-facepiece respirator.
W A R N I N G
Once a sampling probe has been installed, the respirator
cannot be used for respiratory protection. Ported
respirators are for quantitative fit testing only. Discard (or
sanitize) the respirator after each fit test is completed.
(Follow the respirator manufacturer’s recommendations.)
1. Choose a location to install the sample probe.
For proper fit testing, the
sampling point must be in the “breathing
zone” of the respirator user. For most respirators, this is in the
center of the respirator between the person’s nose and mouth.
